*Position Update: As of 05/19/2015 @ 7:33 EST The Global Currency Scalper closed out both sides of this correlation trade with 112.2 Pips.
The Trade: Long CAD/JPY & Short GBP/JPY
The correlation between these two pairs is 77% over the past year. The widest the spread has got over that time is about 800 Pips. Currently these two pairs are 600 Pips apart. The GBP/JPY has enjoyed a nice run-up lately which may be stretched, bumping up against some near term resistance.
With that said we will be entering 1/2 our intended position size with the intentions of easing into the second half if the spread widens significantly. We expect to see this spread narrow over the coming days/weeks. If it happens before we can put our entire position on we will feel comfortable closing out the position with a profit of any amount. Keep in mind there is a national holiday in Canada today with its banks closed.
